Obtaining Feasibility & Pricing Without Creating Survey
- David Boyajian
- Claudio Baldi
- Chad Nuesmeyer
You may obtain estimated feasibility on a target demographic without first creating a survey.Â
January 2020 - We now return recommended pricing in the response of this API endpoint.
Request
POST $apihost/$basepath/feasibility($apihost is the environment against which you are testing, All Buy API calls will require access_token parameter in the header)Â
Considerations
This endpoint is meant to be used as an estimator for the feasibility and pricing of a specific target, or multiple targets.
When requesting feasibility, you should take into consideration all qualifications and condition codes that are accepted in this quota. For example - if your survey has a qualification on gender = male, and your quotas has criteria for ages 45-49, your feasibility request should contain both the gender qualification and the age qualification.

criteria Array Body Parameters:
Behaves the same way as the quota creation call. You may reuse the model you use. Please be sure to include all qualification condition code options that you wish to be considered as part of this calculation.
Request Parameter | Type | Required | Description |
